BFL Wash Up Round 8

Anglesea vs Newcomb

A persistent fight paid off for Anglesea last Saturday as the Roos' defeated Newcomb by 14 points. Ryan Williams was the tip of the spear for Anglesea, who finished his day with five majors.

The win has pushed Anglesea further from the bottom, but can they cause an upset against teams of a higher class? The question will be answered this Saturday when they face the Coutas. For Newcomb, their losing streak is looking to be increased with Drysdale as their next opponent.

Best

Anglesea: R. Williams, B. Jaska, J. Moverley, E. Floyd, N. Collins, S. Umbers

Newcomb: P. McGinley, A. Steele, B. Rees, J. Scott, W. Farrow, J. Dumont

Goals

Anglesea: 5 R. Williams, 2 D. Elliott, 2 J. Harrison, A. Caldwell, N. Collins, S. Umbers

Newcomb: 7 A. Steele, 2 J. Duke, O. Marshall, S. Mullahy

Final Score

Anglesea: 12.13 (85)

Newcomb: 11.5 (71)

 

Barwon Heads vs Portarlington

I don't believe I have ever seen a deficit this big in football. A 240 point smashing from Barwon Heads has kept the Demons in hell. Portarlington still remains at the bottom of the ladder with no wins or encouraging signs.

Barwon Heads will travel to Ocean Grove this weekend. Barwon will want to put Ocean Grove away early considering their persistent nature. Portarlington will return home and the Warriors will be waiting for them.

Best

Barwon Heads: C. Hurst, O. Wiltshire, L. Mitchell, S. Baker, B. Eddy, C. Walter

Portarlington: I. Holroyd, K. Goedemoed, S. Wiffen, J. Rose, M. Spence

Portarlington: T. Benham, K. Goedemoed, B. Wells

Final Score

Barwon Heads: 40.24 (264)

Portarlington: 3.6 (24)

 

Drysdale vs Modewarre

Drysdale keeps bridging the gap with their opposition term by term. Modewarre started well, but the Hawks have this ability to play harder for longer. The final result was Drysdale winners by 19 points.

As we pass the halfway point of the BFL 2022 season next week, Drysdale will look to make a statement against Newcomb. The Warriors on the other hand will be at ease with Portarlington as their next stop.

Best

Final Score

Drysdale: 18.14 (122)

Modewarre: 16.7 (103)

 

Geelong Amateur vs Ocean Grove

After an extremely slow start by Ocean Grove, it was an uphill battle to catch Geelong. Ocean Grove managed to get within reach of taking the lead in the third term, but the Ammos were too good in the fourth. The Ammos walked away 19 point victors.

Ocean Grove will be set a task this week against Barwon Heads, but at least the match will be on home soil. The Ammos move on to take a real test in Torquay who have a habit of steamrolling their opposition.

Best

Final Score

Geelong Amateur: 10.15 (75)

Ocean Grove: 8.8 (56)

 

Torquay vs Queenscliff

The Tigers went fishing last Saturday, and for four quarters, they were eating Coutas. Queenscliff was overwhelmed from the start of the first siren. Torquay easily took home the four points after crushing the Coutas by 82 points.

Torquay has been nothing short of perfect since their defeat by Drysdale. Geelong Ammos have put themselves up as a contender for the flag this year, the Tigers will want to silence their claims this weekend. As for the Coutas, they may find a challenge with Anglesea this weekend.

BFL Wash Up Round 7

Drysdale vs Anglesea

It was another massacre from the Hawks this weekend as Anglesea went down by 54 points. Anglesea came close to edging the score in the second term, but the Hawks stepped it up a notch in the third to become uncachable.

Anglesea will return home this weekend to face Newcomb which will be a less stressful task than Drysdale. The Hawks will remain at home and it will be Modewarre that pays them a visit this Saturday.

Final Score

Barwon Heads vs Geelong

It was a very tight contest between the Ammos and the Seagulls. But in the final term, Barwon Heads just wanted the win a little bit more. 14 points were the difference as Barwon Heads continue to prove themselves.

Barwon Heads will have a chance to gain some percentage this weekend when they meet Portarlington. Geelong will take on Ocean Grove who were no pushovers last week.

Final Score
Geelong: 9.7 (61)
Barwon Heads: 11.9 (75)

 

Modewarre vs Ocean Grove

Modewarre copped quite the scare last week as Ocean Grove led for three terms straight. It was a last gasp effort in the final quarter. The Warriors snagged five goals to Oceans Grove's two that had Modewarre steal victory by nine points.

Ocean Grove will be filthy on that loss to Modewarre. They have shown they can tackle some of the best, and they will get another test against Barwon Heads this weekend. Modewarre, on the other hand, will face the ultimate test with Drysdale as their next stop.

Best

Ocean Grove: 9.5 (59)

 

Torquay vs Newcomb

It was an inaccurate day for the Tigers scoring more than twice the amount of behinds than goals. Even though it was the slaughter of Newcomb by 71 points, inaccuracy could be Toquay's undoing against the harder competition.

Torquay will remain at McCartney Oval this Saturday, their next opponent will be Queenscliff. Newcomb will have to fend off Anglesea which might be more challenging than what the Roos scorecard shows.

Best
Torquay: J. Ireland, W. Doyle, L. Findlay, N. Mifsud, E. McCoy, M. Croxford

Queenscliff took control of the game from the start of the first siren and the trend continued until the final horn. Another blow for the Demons this time defeated by 81 points.

Queenscliff will not find their next match so easy playing the Tigers on their home deck. For the Demons, their next match will be against Barwon Heads who have been on a roll lately.
